Would it be appropriate for an old dude like me to use a tang mounted peep sight for when my target gets out to the 100 yrd. range. I was thinking about putting a fold down peep on the tang and using my regular iron sight for close range. My peepers aren't what they used to be. Can I get a tang mounted peep sight anywhere?

Tang peep sight

What rifle do you want to put it on? T/C has one and so does Lyman. They should be adaptable to some others.
At one time I had a peep sight on a '94 winchester 30-30. Well, that dang peep cost me a deer. The thing with a peep for hunting...take that aperture out, the hole it screws into is small enough. I have taken deer that way out to 100 yards and if you get one a lot closer you can see where you are aiming instead of just a mass of brown hair.

Thanks for the great info. Just came back from Track of the Wolf and they have an amazing selection of just about everything I might want. I'm beginning to turn this muzzle loading thing from using up my spending money to an investment caliber hobby. But it feels good! Bang Boom!
I have put the full buckhorn from TOW on two rifles, and love it. It is designed to be mounted down the bbl just like an open primitive. Had forgotten just how clear that front sight could be seen.
Can't post a link, but you can find it in TOW sight section.

Hay guys here is the # for the peep
It's called a long strap peep sight #RS-MA on Page
252
I also used a very low globe sight that is called a Swiss globe #FS- swiss page255
You will need a low sight. I had to crank up my peep to gain the right elivation.
With the Swiss globe you can turn out the post and file off the excess. They look very sharp, helps with accuracy,and is peroid correct.

Peep is the way to go, beats an open rear sight in every way. I have open sights on rifles I use for primitive match rules but would not hunt with one.
I like a 1/8" aperture, it's quick and works when the light is too dim for an open sight. It needs to be rigidly mounted, folders may be partially folded and not noticed when you're concentrating on the game. You also need to entirely remove the open rear, get it out of the way so you can see all you should be seeing through the peep.

Joe is right. If you take the aperture out of the windage base, you get a wonderful ghost ring, that does everything you need to do with a BP rifle hunting. Very accurate way to shoot.
So I bought a D.Pedersoli Creedmore sight with peep and it looks awesome on my Traditions Hawken 50cal. Used it on my my Rem. Rolling Block replica muzzleloader. which makes more sense for shooting 100+ yrds. Problem is I love the Traditions Hawken and may end up selling the Creedmore sight. Know anyone that might be interested?
